So, I wanted to get people's experiences and thoughts on this matter. I
actually had my first appointment with a chiropractor this morning for x
rays and will be returning soon for his prognosis on any treatment
needs I have.

My aunt is a nurse and has always said chiropractors are charlatans who
know just enough about medicine to be dangerous. I know that's an
extreme bias, but I've heard similar sentiments about the profession not
really being legit from many throughout my life.

Then why am I seeing one, good question. Well, I'm a competitive
racquetball player and for the past few months I've been having some
shoulder pain. My doubles partner swears by his chiropractor and says
being under his care has helped him stay in good health. Per him there
have been numerous occasions where he has had sports related injuries or
ailments and the doc has been able to help him with them. He suggested I
check it out just to see if there would be any benefit for me,
especially with my recent shoulder pain.
